Well, Girl Genius is basically a graphic novel with 3 pages printed a week.

In fact, everything on LFG for the past two weeks has been Richard jokes.
Girl Genius, on the other hand, just took a direction we the readers weren't expecting. And technically that plot point I mentioned from 2004 was a throwaway and hasn't actually been resolved... it just looks like it will be.

Wow that was the Family Sharing thing? That's fucking garbage. PS+ has demos like that for free* regardless of family members

@BenBrocka The sharing aspect is probably what everyone who defended the system was looking forward to.

@fbueckert You are using too much logic to try to explain the behavior of fanboys. They do not operate logically.

@fbueckert Yeah, they seem quite fine. Sony studios in general are, apparently (Naughty Dog is first party now) since Sony was quite gleeful to abuse MS for limiting used games

8:26 PM
@fbueckert Not that anyone at MS would admit that a Sony first party is doing well
 
fbueckert
fbueckert
@BenBrocka No, but any other game studio whining about used games has to acknowledge it.
If they're not making money, it's not because of used games. It's because they want the world to conform to their expectations, not the other way around.
 
badp

Honestly I'd be much more okay with the whole "used game" stuff if it happened completely for free
Parasitic businesses that make the bulk of their money like this have no sympathy from me
 
Ben Brocka
Ben Brocka
@fbueckert I suspect some may be wising up. Mirror's Edge being open world for example seems like a good way of limiting the "$60 for THIS" reaction lots had to Mirror's Edge 1
Great game, but light on content, especially for a $60 buy. You have to address that in some way that's not "no used games" IMO. If it's still the same shit at the same price, people that buy then sell/wait for used games will just not buy it
 
fbueckert
fbueckert
@badp There is some abuse in the system, especially with companies whose business model revolves around used games. The only thing you can do in that case is to not frequent it.
@BenBrocka Exactly.
Or buy it, find out it's not worth the cost, and return it.
 
Ben Brocka

@fbueckert If people returned games instead of selling them back, companies would be in a LOT more hurt
most places won't let you, of course

Honestly the thought of picking some old console when I'll live on my own doesn't repel me as much as the thought of spending $500 just for a glorified, crippled computer
 
fbueckert
fbueckert
Or it could be they bought the console when they had lots of extra income, and things are tight right now.
Either way, the point is that there are console gamers out there who watch what they spend.

I think money conscious console gamers would be better served from Steam sales than used games

@fbueckert You... let it run in the background?

@badp Depends on what you want to do with it.

@Powerlord If you don't want regenerating health why are you having a medic round?
@fbueckert It's fine for what I'm doing right now.

If you want to play another game, though, that's some processing just slowing your computer down.

Q: Can I change pattern permissions after initial setup of the Dream Suite?

FAEI opened up my Dream Suite today, and during the intial setup, Luna asked me if I wanted to make my patterns publicly available so people can download them or if I wanted to make it so people could view them only. I chose to share them, thinking that if I ever changed my mind, I'd be able to go...

So they heal 4 health per second instead of 3. Since it's forcing the crossbow, we know they are using half the set already.

Powerlord

@badp Crusader's Crossbow and Amputator.
(Yes, it's a two item set)

You could just give the whole set to all players for fairness
...and to avoid uber chains
 
Powerlord
Powerlord
I could, but I'd rather just remove the bonus. :P
 
badp
badp
then do!
 
Powerlord
Powerlord
Besides which, they don't have mediguns, so uber-chaining is useless.
As a rule, I'm not restricting the melee weapon in any way. There are just some melee weapons that you probably don't want in Huntsman Hell.

I mean, I can light the arrows themselves after they're fired, but that's a pain.

Q: Recommendations for AGP Graphic Cards for Ubuntu 12.04 - Some gaming, proprietary driver support

AlluminatiI have found a lot of awesome help on this page, so I'm finally asking my first question here. Having looked around a bit already, I still have troubles, so here it goes ;-) My old Radeon X700 doesn't cut it anymore, almost every 3D application is giving us troubles, even xscreensaver. I'm on ...

@Powerlord I'm more surprised that whatever computer they built there actually sports a dual core processor.
 
Powerlord

@FEichinger It's probably the original Core processor or "actually the same processor with a different name" Pentium D
My brother had one of those. Keeping in mind that my brother died 5 years ago and his computer was at least 3 years old when he died.

@Powerlord I can only find one Intel Dual Core at 2.0Ghz. And that's the E2180 ... That thing is 64bit ready. wat.

Q: Does the Wealthy Town ordinance raise Nook's home prices too?

Ben BrockaThe Wealthy Town ordinance increases buy/sell prices at Re-Tail and the nooklings best I'm aware, so it's sort of a wash (unless you sell in a town with Wealth and buy in a town without). However do home expansions/public works projects also increase in price, or can Wealthy be used to get those ...

@BenBrocka I am led to believe this is a core part of writing JavaScript code.

It's actually half of "Javascript: the Good Parts"
There's only a handful of prayers in the book but the authors rewrote each prayer for most common values of $DEITY, starting with the Flying Spaghetti Monster.
Although if you had to make a pasta equivalent of Javascript, it'd be callback ravioli

They use "ravioli" here to describe well-SoC'd code.
It can be argued that the term was already in use in describing an aspect of Javascript code.
 
badp
badp
plus, the "well-SoC"'d code still uses callbacks
I actually kind of remember such an expression used in one Javascript V8 patch to allow continuations in JS, thus avoiding callbacks in the first place, and they made a pasta reference there too.
That's all I remember. identify-this-webpage

That's great, but he can't wear robes, which means the best armor he can wear and still cast all force powers is the Miner Outfit, which provides an amazing 1 point of defense and no other bonuses.
